Jake Zeldin has struggled with a significant stutter all his life, but when he raps the stutter disappears!

Toronto-based Jake Zeldin, aka Lil JaXe, has only been rapping for two years and already has the city talking. Listening to him rhyme, you would never know that he has a stutter or that he is just 14 years old. He has a talent and creativity well beyond his years that leaves his audiences speechless.

His mother, Robyn Zeldin, says they worked with a variety of speech therapies and spent thousands of dollars. Rap was the only remedy that allowed him to come out of his shell and share his talent with others.
